Thought about going to smaller lighter unit or not really concerned about it? No idea on the battery. It came with the car when I bought it in '09 and all the labels are gone. It's probably time to replace it but it holds a charge and starts the car. I do not like the red top or yellow top gel cells. I've had both and they both had shorter life spans than this one. |

Had plenty of other problems with my cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Gates green stripe is not something you'll have to worry about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

My new green stripe hose showed up today (Sunday USPS). This was $120 shipped to my door from Amazon. I bought the "used" but the description said damaged box. What I received was 50 feet of new hose in a damaged/repaired box. The hose itself is perfect, without even a scratch. The box was barely damaged, but torn in the center of the coiled hose. I have no idea why the Post Office delivered today but I'll take it.

Are you planning on still running your auxiliary pump up front like you were showing me at WCR? It definetely helps in moving the coolant along!

Yes, it will stay up front. I might put it on the outlet of the radiator. Right now it's pushing water into it. I need to study the fluid dynamics a little before deciding. |

I think that's great insurance over a stock mechanical pump doing all the work. I'd think about putting it at the end of the most convoluted side of your tubing to draw it through the twists and turns- keep the flow moving.

Looks like my random limp mode issues were part of the battery switch problem. I replaced the old switch with a Moroso unit. The new unit is much larger and interfered with the hood hinge so i had to hog out the mounting hole and make an escutcheon plate. I used some leftover diamond plate I had laying around. I also replaced a broken battery connector that was bugging me. Seems to work great. I put about 10 miles on the car today tooling around the hood, staying in cell phone range just in case...
Car is pretty much ready for WCR. I have a couple things I want to tweak on but it runs great.   |

Yes, they do make "suction" pumps but the efficiency is quite low on these type pumps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Glad to see you quite goofing off and got Frankie back on the road. So was it an intermittent or low voltage problem? |

Glad to see you've got it all squared away for WCR already. Might be time to do another engine conversion. You still have a little over 2 months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

The battery switch was becoming intermittent before it gave up the ghost. The computer was seeing a random missfire because of it. That would send it into limp mode. At the same time, the positive battery connector was cracked and loose. With the DBW throttle, limp mode puts the car in idle with no throttle response. Totally sucks when you are 40 miles from home. |

Mike,
You've talked me into it. I've been reading this build thread since the beginning. So I have a chassis and I've been looking for the right swap, now I have it. Just picked up an Audi 1.8t donor car. The problem is that mine is a 01 a4 Quattro. I can't use the transmission like you did initially. I saw that you bought a 05 -08 boxster s 6 speed and as much as I'd like to do that now I want to put a 5 speed in to get it up and running. The only question that I'm not sure about is are all the 5 speed boxster transmissions a direct bolt up or are there only certain years that will work. From what I see on here they should all bolt up. It is really like to verify that before I buy a transmission that I can't use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love the build! |

All the boxster and Audi FWD from the A4 and the VW passat transmissions are bolt on. If you dont want to spend money on a boxster 6 speed grab a GVT transmission from a FWD manual 06-08 Audi A4. Its a 6 speed as well at a much lower cost. Wont handle the HP of a boxster 6 speed, but should be plenty for most builds. Im going to give it a try and I have quite a bit of power. Theres one I found in your area for $450 on www.carpart.com 2006 Transmission Assembly Audi A4 2.0L,5 Sp,FWD 68,706 A N60462 $450 Tuscarawas Auto Parts, Inc.

If not, have u tried checking if there is no loose wire on ur trottle wiring or maybe some fluid inside the plug wire? My C-240 has limp mode issue before until I found oils along trottle cable wiring plug. I was suggested to replace trottle but after cleaning the plug wires, issue is fixed. |
